Currently, cultural organizations, like museums and art galleries, do little to reflect or engage the living cultures of our societies and the environments they inhabit. They have the ability to do so - although it will require a complete reassessment of what these organizations assume are the cultural needs of our communities. New insights into how best to address these needs will also be required - leaving behind the presumption that culture is essentially a specialized commodity for the leisure-time market. New professional competencies and novel approaches to public engagement strategies will have to replace old institutionalized structures and traditional programs if these organizations hope to engage the cultural pulse of our cities.
You will find some links on this page to interesting websites on sustainability and to articles I have written on the topic of culture and sustainability.
I welcome your feedback.
